Solving the combustible cladding issue in Victoria: a Cladding Safety Victoria update

The Protocols for Mitigating Cladding Risk (PMCR) is an approach developed by Cladding Safety Victoria (CSV) on behalf of the Victorian Government to consistently and systematically address the risk posed by the presence of combustible cladding on Class 2 and Class 3 buildings.

For many buildings, combustible cladding on the façade:

  • does not present a high enough level of risk to warrant substantial or complete removal of the cladding; but
  • presents enough risk to warrant a tailored package of risk mitigation interventions to be introduced that provide a proportionate response to the risk.

In this session, an overview of the method which gives a pathway to a safer building without the need to remove all the cladding will be discussed.
